    • Practice using your scanning device.
      • The Written Solutions Guide provides detailed instructions on submitting your solutions on the day of the exam. While these instructions will also be provided during your exam, there is a time limit for submission, so it is highly recommended to test and become familiar with your scanning device and its features prior to your exam day.

    More information and instructions can be found in the Candidate Guide for Online Technical Exams.

  • On the Day of Your Exam

    Candidates are expected to log in through the eProctor Canada application at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled time. This allows time to address any system or internet connectivity issues (if needed) and also allows proctors ample time to conduct the check-in process and review exam procedures. 

    To ensure a smooth experience, here are some tips:

    • Review and follow guides and instructions
      We have published and updated guides and instructions to ensure candidates have a successful exam experience. Utilize the Candidate Guide for Online Technical Exams as a reference for exam day preparation, and other helpful resources listed under Candidates Guides and Information.

    • Clear your testing environment
      Please ensure that only permitted materials are on your desk and have your government photo ID, AssessBank login, and password ready.  

    • Re-download the eProctor application
      Re-download the eProctor Canada application to ensure you have the latest version on the day of your exam.

    • Connecting with the live proctor 
      Candidates will see a loading screen (green circles) until the proctor has a chance to do the check-in. Note that it is normal to wait on the loading screen while proctors check in candidates on a first-come, first-serve basis. They will review our exam rules with you and complete a desk scan.

    • Access your exam on AssessBank
      Once candidates are checked in successfully, the exam link will be sent to you through eProctor Canada, where you can log in with your AssessBank credentials and launch your test. Trying your login credentials prior to exam day will ensure minimal disruptions in case of password issues.

While the examinations are conducted electronically, please be aware that the Exam Rules and Statement of Understanding, Examination Misconduct Policy (for Engineers and Geoscientists BC candidates), and any equivalent policies under other respective regulators are still applicable and enforced. Please take the time to review the attached policy prior to your exam.

Solutions submitted for each exam must adhere to the Written Solutions Guide.

Be aware that sharing of confidential exam content is strictly prohibited, including your exam solutions and rough work.
